Hands-On Guidance and Woodland Management Coaching

One of the greatest benefits of an annual review is the opportunity to walk your property with a forester and discuss the management work you're doing.

Many woodland owners prefer to complete management activities themselves. While a written management plan explains what needs to be accomplished, questions often arise once work begins.

During your annual review, we can examine the work you've completed, identify opportunities for improvement, and demonstrate proper management techniques in the field.

Annual reviews provide opportunities to:

• Review Your Work: Evaluate completed and ongoing management activities to determine whether they're producing the desired results.

• Learn Proper Techniques: Receive practical instruction on identifying crop trees, selecting competing trees for removal, controlling invasive species, and other recommended practices.

• Avoid Costly Mistakes: Identify potential problems before unnecessary tree removal, ineffective treatments, or other management decisions create long-term consequences.

• Ask Questions in the Field: Get answers specific to your property while looking directly at the trees, vegetation, and conditions involved.

• Evaluate Forest Health: Monitor tree growth, regeneration, invasive species, and other changes occurring throughout your woodland.

• Plan Your Next Steps: Establish realistic management priorities for the coming year based on your progress, available time, and long-term objectives.

Our goal is not simply to tell landowners what needs to be done, but to help them develop the knowledge and confidence to manage their woodland effectively.
